[Isaiah]

C-class driver's license or above is required to operate a blue-plate tow truck. The tow truck must meet the following conditions: the total length of the vehicle must be less than 6 meters, the tonnage must not exceed 1.5 tons, and the total mass must be less than 4.5 tons. The full name of the tow truck is road tow truck, also known as a wrecker, road rescue vehicle, or towing vehicle. It has multiple functions such as lifting, pulling, and towing. Tow trucks are mainly used for road breakdown vehicles, urban illegally parked vehicles, and emergency rescue operations. Tow trucks are mainly categorized into: integrated towing and lifting type, separate towing and lifting type, one-tow-one type, flatbed one-tow-two type, multi-functional tow truck, and hydraulic automatic clamping type. A tow truck is a specialized vehicle equipped with road emergency operation equipment. Since breakdowns and accidents are inevitable when vehicles are driven on roads, especially on highways, such incidents often occur. The task of the tow truck is to promptly remove the broken-down or accident vehicle from the scene to ensure smooth traffic flow. Therefore, the road tow truck is also known as a road emergency vehicle. With the increase in high-grade roads and the number of vehicles in use, tow trucks have also developed.
